'THE ISLAND' REMIX COMPETITION WINNERS!

We are pleased to announce the winners and runners up of our 'The Island' remix competition!

Hi all - thanks to everyone who put the effort put into doing this. There is some pretty amazing talent out there and hopefully we can do more of these things in the future.

This definitely wasn't easy - there were nearly 800 entries and I could only pick one. I managed to find about 50-60 in the end that were very good, so in the end I just went with my instinct and picked the ones I liked listening to best.

Please don't be too disappointed if yours wasn't chosen. I do feel your pain. I entered a Fatboy Slim remix competition once in like 1998...the radio station called me at 6am telling me they'd only received half the track (due to my shitty Australian dialup connection cutting out) and could I please upload the rest. For some reason, I couldn't get online and they ended up choosing some shitty punk version instead. For years I swore bitter revenge, like some producer-based version of Phantom of the Opera...

Great tunes guys i can see why use made the top 6 Crimsoniks remix a think is especially epic, cant help but think though "when is this goin to kick in" if u get what a mean alota tunes pendulum do really enhance there sounds an make small repetitive noises sound significant but other than that every remix here is worthy for there own release.

Soundcloud is "vulnerable" to Replay Media Catcher. I'm using version 3.11 myself. Just have RMC in the recording state and start playing a song in Soundcloud, and the original stream will be dumped into the "My Recordings" folder in the Documents folder. RMC isn't free though.

Why doesnt everyone who didnt win stop moaning, so what if there not British, put yourself in his position, if you were heading the competition, would you pick the best one, or the one who complied with the rules, if your remixes were better, you would have won. Id rather have these awesome remixes than most of the shit ones I heard. Yes i respect the rules were laid out, but at the end of the day, how does it really matter, you still wouldnt have won. As really in a competition there can be one winner, as the British artist, Stapelapse would have won as he is the best of the British remixes as he was the only artist that is british, so the others above can just be considered stuff rob thought deserved an added mention.

I also enetered the competition in good faith, well done to the winner, shame he should never hve even got into the comp as he's in France!!So much for listening to all the mixes, mine too was never listened to or even downloadaed!And as for Robs' coment "I'm the judge and F*&^% the rules, is totally disgusting, just don't bother again, i'll certainly be seeking pirate copies and never spend money on these losers again!!I will however ask Warners to discount this competition as i reckon there's a legal issue here as well.Think I might just share my mix for all anyway!
